In this episode of Tech Intersect, I chat with Harold Hughes, the founder & CEO of Bandwagon – a venture-backed identity infrastructure company that helps its customers transparently manage, aggregate, and store valuable consumer identity data. A rising star in data, identity, and experience space, Harold has had his brilliant vision and ideas validated as a graduate (and now mentor) of the Founder Institute Greenville chapter; graduate of Capital Factory - Austin, one of the inaugural companies in Google for the Startups Black Founders Exchange Program, and most recently the inaugural cohort of the IBM Blockchain Accelerator in 2019. I invited him on today to talk about the future of the future of derivative rights, commercial rights with blockchain and NFTs on the scene.

For this week's Tech Intersect spotlight episode, I selected a popular "Ping the Prof" episode about intellectual property rights in the non-fungible token space. What rights an artist creates when she mints, what rights she transfers to an NFT marketplace, how to participate in secondary market sales, what to do if someone creates an unauthorized NFT of your creativity, for example. If you have a question, submit it at [email protected] and I will pick some to answer on a future Ping the Prof episode.
Soon, I will be rolling out a regular Ping the Prof "Listen, Learn and Leverage" series on Patreon for deeper dives into your questions and concerns at the intersection of law, business and technology and the future of work, wealth and creativity. Connect with me via social media or at AdvantageEvans.com to be the first to know when the series rolls out.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I chat with Robert Greenfield IV. the President and CEO of Emerging Impact, a benefit corporation that supports major NGOs and government agencies leveraging emerging technology in humanitarian aid and welfare programming.
Together, we explore what it means to leverage blockchain’s distributed ledger technology and cryptocurrencies to modernize financial services in emerging markets, the needs of emerging markets and how the crypto industry might replicate the ills of the current system if it’s not intentional about empowering rather than exploiting, why crypto use is booming in countries like Nigeria despite regulatory bans and the mindset shift required to create generational wealth for marginalized communities not only as investors but also creators.

Title: In this episode of Tech Intersect, I reconnect with Cleve Mesidor, She is the founder and fearless leader of the National Policy Network of Women of Color in Blockchain, Policy Advisor to the Blockchain Association, and author of a memoir, The CLEVOLUTION.
In episode 26, we had an authentic and empowering conversation about race, crypto, and financial inclusion. We explored the importance of education in black and brown communities by dramatically reducing barriers to entry and participation. And we also explored the importance of the lessons of freedom from Juneteenth as context for the broader conversation of economic empowerment.
In this time around, we decided to capture our real time reflections on the bipartisan compromise to a crypto tax provision in the Senate’s $1 trillion infrastructure bill after a vote on Monday, August 9th. U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) announced the compromise involving Democrats, Republicans and the Treasury Department earlier in the day, saying it would exempt crypto transaction validators from a broadened definition of “broker.” One Senator stood in the way and blocked unanimous consent over an unrelated topic. But the industry showed strength and community. We live to fight another day on the House side soon.

Embark on a 3-day intimate (Aug 13-15), workshop-style course that includes live coaching, well-curated content and an Accreditable digital certificate of mastery so you can upskill in the competitive workforce with credentials that set you apart from the pack in the new economy.
Regulation is an essential component of a healthy, thriving crypto ecosystem. And the legal implications of crypto, DeFi and NFTs sometimes seem as volatile and unpredictable as the price of Bitcoin. And speaking of Bitcoin, it will likely be the world reserve currency at some point, and will certainly be a national reserve to some countries.
So building your digital cash wealth on a solid legal foundation is critical to creating and cultivating sustainable generational wealth with crypto assets. This course helps you make it all make sense so that you can buy, create and leverage crypto assets in a compliant and confident way.

In this Spotlight Episode of Tech Intersect, I return to my conversation with Cigars and Crypto Podcast host, Dante aka Invest Noir. We cover a range of timeless topics, including economic empowerment, inclusion, inflation of the US dollar, dollar cost averaging, Dante’s Bitcoin Maximalist views on Ethereum and decentralized finance, the democratizing principles of crypto and why the black community MUST learn about and participate in the future of money in order to offset the systemic bias and discriminatory practices that have plagued traditional finance and technology.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I share my testimony summary from PA State Rep. Napoleon Nelson's July 19th House Democratic Policy Committee hearing "Blockchain and Cryptocurrency and preparing Pennsylvania for a digital future." The Committee was short on time and I wasn’t able to deliver my full prepared remarks so I’d like to take the opportunity to do that in this episode. The full hearing replay and my written testimony are linked below.
I commend Rep. Nelson for convening this hearing to explore the potential benefits, challenges, and drawbacks of integrating blockchain technology and crypto assets into the public, private and charitable sectors of the Commonwealth and welcoming blockchain-based and crypto startups to the Commonwealth. It is essential for government officials to identify and to consider the myriad local, national, and international policy issues associated with achieving the optimal balance between cultivating a robust, competitive and transparent regulatory environment that also supports and encourages innovation in this fast-paced digital world. This is particularly important at this moment in history as we emerge from the economic ravages of the pandemic, especially for those citizens historically and systemically marginalized and disenfranchised in the current financial and technology sectors.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I welcome Vince McPhillip, founder of Knomad and former co-founder and Head of Community at Pi Network. He founded Knomad in 2018 to help people find more flexible and meaningful work. He was inspired to launch Knomad as a “flash consultancy” to pair students with cryptocurrency projects after reading an article titled "Expert Crowdsourcing" while he was in business school. And although he says it was really hard challenging work, he focused on the promising signs of the magic that arises when people from different backgrounds come together to solve hard problems.
Fast forward to the present moment, now more people than ever are looking for greater autonomy, meaning, and financial reward in their work. Vince believes that every single person has inherent wisdom to share, irrespective of background or geographical borders. So Vince is building a global knowledge marketplace where people can trade expertise. By doing so, Knomad hopes to create alternative economies where Knomads can turn their knowledge into wealth.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I welcome Lizzy Aroloye, a Toronto-based Canadian- Nigerian woman who has taken the NFT world by storm as a self-taught multi-disciplinary artist. She graduated from the university of Toronto where she majored in Communication Culture Information Technology and minored in Film studies and Sociology. She did not know it at the time, but those seemingly divergent programs merged and mixed her artistic skills with web 2.0 technologies and concepts and helped prepare her for the dynamic and successful life she lives in the NFT Art world. Be sure to bring your wisdom bag to be filled during this episode because Lizzy drops so many gems about how to transition and transform in the NFT creative community. Lots of ahas and takeaways.
